their Universities so close together in the middle of grain fields is interesting

In the late summer, nothing but combines and trucks hauling grain.

I just realized how close Wazzu and Uni of Idaho are. Just a few miles. Nuts.

Do the student bodies think of themselves as equals, BYU vs UVU, or BYU vs UU?

Washington in general looks down on Idaho

Nope. PAC 10+2 bumper stickers > Big Sky bumper stickers by a smidgen

Back when drinking age in Idaho was still 19, Wazzu students would drive across the border to drink.

The Vandals even used Martin Stadium as their home stadium at one point.

Wait until you realize that Idaho was a member of the Pac 12's predecessor...

Since COVID I have seen many call themselves Wazzoomers. Maybe it will stick?

When I was at UNC I was shocked to learn Duke and UNC are only 9.8 miles apart

FallingRock

and NC State is 25 miles from UNC. Crazy you have 3 that close together.

And Wake Forest isn't too far away either. Four ACC schools close together.

Harvard and Boston College are just across the Charles River from one another.

I think it's across from BU. BC is more inland.

Harvard, BU, MIT, Tufts, and Northeastern within miles of each other

Thinking of schools with football teams. Add others please.

All of those school have a football team. Most are DIII, but they play football

Too bad they both aren't in the Pac-12. That would be a lot of fun.
